MARKET Holdings Gooa Recelvers Beresheim and Murphy secured and order yesterday afternoon from Judge Thornell of the district court authorizing them 1o sell as speedily as possible the real estute holdings of the OfMcer & Pusey bank. This application was made at the solicitation of a number of the larger cred- itors of the firm, who believed that this | was an opportune time to dispose of the| real estate. Since the commencement of the | year there has been a brisk demand for! real estate, both farm lands and city prop- | erty, and good prices have prevailed. The | real estate market has been particularly | active for several weeks, and good ecity| property has been eagerly sought for by investors. The receivers under Judge Thornell's or- der ara authorized to dispose of the bank's real estate in such parcels as they may | deem most advantageous, either public or private sale. In case of private sale, the | selling price must not be below the value | placed on the property by the appraisers appointed by the court. The receivers are ulso empowered to sell for cash or for one- third cash down and the balance to be pald half at the expiration of one year and the other half at the end of two years, the notes to bear 6 per cent interest. Permis- sion is given to the receivers to take all | necessary steps to advertise the sale of | the property Receiver Murphy sald yesterday: ‘“‘We | have had numerous applications from per- sons willing to buy the real estate of the | bank, and we believe we can disposs of 1t | in a comparatively short time. We are of the opinion that now is a good time to sell real estate and that we will obtain &00d prices for the better class of the hold- ings.” The order fssued by Judge Thornell does not include Walter Scott mining claims in Colorado, or such real estate as the| bank holds as collateral security. §. G. Underwood, H. W. Binder and J P. Hess, the appralsers appointed by the court, placed the value of the real estate holdings of Officer & Pusey at $105,082, ex- clusive of the mining property. The real estate in the city was appralsed at $40,485, INTEREST {torney Killpack | against Dan O'Connell, | ot stealing $300 the principal parcels being the banking house and store bullding on Broadway, and lots In Grimes’, Mynster's and Willlams' additions.
